"Perhaps the Greatest Zelda Arrangements for Piano" according to Quinn G.. This is the Zelda book I've been dreaming of for years. These four pieces are taken from the Symphony of the Goddess traveling symphony which accompanied the release of Skyward Sword. Each piece is in the form of a symphonic movement, moving through various different themes from a Zelda game. The tracks are on the audio CD which came with early copies of the game. If you are unfamiliar with the pieces, it may be good to check out the live orchestra versions first to get an idea of what these are.First, the book is very nice. The binding is stiff, but secure. The score looks beautiful. T. Alex said Seems like decent music, but focuses on the Symphony rather than the original melodies. These arrangements seem decent. I'm a novice so I haven't managed to get far into it yet. When I started to play the "Time of the Falling Rain" series (based on A Link to the Past) I was struck with how oddly this arrangement sounded. I looked up a recording of the live symphony on Youtube and got my answer. These arrangements appear to be based on the symphony concert arrangements rather than the original pieces from the games. They try to capture the orchestra instruments into a solo piano and it can come off a bit awkward.This all might be obvious, but I wanted to point it out. Try l. Nathan said Loved it! A nice paperback of surprisingly good quality. Loved it! A nice paperback of surprisingly good quality that bends enough to stay up on the stand to play, but not where it ruins the spine. A very good purchase for any who are considering it :D
